Given how far technology has come, it was only a matter of time before we traveled full circle and revisited the past. From bringing back previous fashion trends to even remaking films from decades ago, it’s cool to go vintage. Which explains the popularity of retro games — especially on your iPhone.

As one of the world’s most popular smartphones, the iPhone is capable of performing a number of personal and professional tasks. A dedicated source of bands and artists for music lovers as well as a lifesaving messaging tool for the mobile businessperson, the iPhone is a must-have — with its entertainment system (namely games) an attractive feature for its dominantly young audience.
